What's up cancers 🙂! Anywhoz, I find that a lot of my cancer friends have trouble sleeping. Including my beloved cancer boyfriend. I used to have a cancer friend that would religious call me in the middle of the night (sometimes I would answer sometimes I wouldn't) because he couldn't sleep. The reason being he couldn't sleep is because he kept worrying about his future. Now my cancer sweetie uuggggggggh, tosses and turns while I attempt to sleep peacefully. It annoys the hell out of me sometimes lol. I remember he once woke me and asked "how can you go to sleep when there's so much to worry about," my response like always is, "easy just close your eyes and turn over." My boyfriend and I have discussed his inability to get a good nights rest. The bottom line with him is that whenever he's in a restful state that's when all his fears and concerns surface. Plus the fact he's EXTREMELY energetic and athletic. However, the good thing is that he said he sleeps better when he's at my apartment 🙂.

GangstaL, LOL... seems like a lot of Cancers do have issues sleeping or slepping through a whole night. My Cancer also has a strange sleep pattern. I am a Taurus... so I love my sleep. He goes to bed like 3 in the morning and wakes up at 6 or 8am. He hardly sleeps in or takes naps on weekends either. Strange to me... but I guess it's just him. He has his own business so most times he is up doing things that needs to be done with that and finds it more productive during those wee hours I guess.

However, whenever we sleep together he sleeps soundly and most times sleeps late with me hehe 🙂... my lazy Taurus habits rubs off on him... he cusses sometimes when he sees that he slept through most of the morning with me but I know he values the rest. So yeah... I understand where you're coming from.

I think it's a man thing though... cause my ex was also an early riser after a late night. I have seen most guys go through the whole night and still get up early the next morning. I can't do it... I need my full eight or nine hours. 🙂

...I never got good sleep as a kid. (bad dreams & never wanted to miss anything)
...I never got sleep as a teenager. (strange dreams & always alone)
...I did however, get good sleep when I WAS with my kids' mom (...til she took off her mask)
...Ever since then, I only got good sleep when I had someone to hold.
I guess that's why I choose to sleep on the couch.
I wake up in a bed reaching out for someone who's not there... so I figure why disappoint myself every morning? I wake up on the couch... my hand falls off the side... I stop reaching. I don't know what's up with cancers not getting sleep... but lately, my daughter's (get ready for school) routine has been knocking my ass out around 9 or 10pm and I'm up before the sun (the hour varies).
And for some reason (though I do get some form of sleep now) I don't like that I have to.

"believe it or not i can hear everything while sleeping and i can even remember it when i wake up."

Firefly...you sound just like my Mum...she's a Pisces and she like to sleep without any intrusion or she will get cranky..

As for me being a cancer..i just love late night time..but i will always ended up waking up late for work in the morning...so i could use a good sleep time during my day off...
But worries and anxiety is a killer for cancer..cause when i think too much...even when my eyes has closed..my brain is still working like a machine..which explains why i always have a bad headache..

I sometimes have nights like that where I am worried about something and cannot sleep regardless of how much I try. I can't even begin to imagine how that must feel like as a full time thing..my god!..no thanks.

I sleep the perfect 8 hours. Excessive sleeping gives me a headache and no sleep gives me horrendous skin!

Pisces wins the vote hands down. I guess thats where living in lala land comes from!..lol..bless them.
